Sri Sathya Sai Sadguru Stotram

A Hymn Composed by Karan, Krishna, and Shiv Dewan

On this most auspicious occasion of Sri Ganesh Chaturthi, we offer at His Divine Lotus Feet a Sanskrit composition entitled "Sri Sathya Sai Sadguru Stotram." The inspiration for this stotram came from an audio clip of Sri Ghantashala, the great singer of the yesteryears, singing a stotram in praise of Bhagwan in 3 stanzas. These 3 stanzas have been expanded to nine verses with the addition of six verses. These words inspired by Bhagwan praise Him as the Guru of Gurus, the fullness of Divinity incarnated in human form to redeem each of us. We pray to Bhagwan that His Divine prescence fill listeners with peace and joy, and to bless each one with the gift of His grace. Jai Sai Ram.
